Lu Group’s Headquarters.
CEO’s Office.
Lu Zhiheng looked around at the spacious CEO office and suddenly felt that his life was complete.

He tidied up his suit and raised the glass of red wine on his desk, while in high spirits. “Lu Jingye, I am capable of what you are capable of. Just you wait. I will definitely be able to push the Lu Group towards a better place.”
Having said that, he triumphantly planned to finish the whole glass of red wine in one go.
However, at that moment, the door to his office was knocked on.
Lu Zhiheng said, “Come in.”
The person who entered was the Department Head of the IT Department.
The IT Department Head had an anxious look on his face. “President, something has happened. The security firewall of the Lu Group has been breached and there is a group of hackers attacking our database where the confidential information is stored!”
The moment Lu Zhiheng heard that, he subconsciously thought that Lu Jingye was deliberately trying to cause trouble for him. His hand holding onto the glass shook and he threw it out of anger.
He then forcefully suppressed his anger and questioned with a frown, “The security defense of Lu Group is unparalleled and you’re telling me that it was breached by hackers? Are you joking with me?”
The IT Department Head, who was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, suddenly felt uncomfortable deep down due to what Lu Zhiheng said. However, it was an urgent situation right now and so he explained it fully to him.
“President, the security defenses of our company are indeed unparalleled, but there’s no guarantee that hackers will not find any loopholes to attack through. Right now, the IT Department is unable to resolve the virus that caused our firewall to malfunction and in addition, there is a group of hackers attacking our company. What should we do now?”
“Then organize a group of people to find the virus and another group to resist the hackers.” While Lu Zhiheng said that, he thought deep down to himself, “It seems like the Department Head of the IT Department should be changed.”
It’s obvious that he was one of Lu Jingye’s men and it would be a hidden danger if he kept him around.
The IT Department Head did not expect Lu Zhiheng to say that and he became angry out of anxiety. “President Lu, if the hackers were to breach into our database and reveal the confidential documents, our losses will be unimaginable!”
Lu Zhiheng could not possibly let this matter be. He followed the IT Department Head to the IT Department.
The moment the data for one of the large projects they had was leaked out, Lu Zhiheng finally started to feel anxious.
When the second project was leaked out, Lu Zhiheng hastily called Lu Jingye with the intention to scold him and get him to stop. However, he did not expect that he could not get through to his phone at all.
Lu Zhiheng was so angry that he immediately called Patriarch Lu to tattle on him.

“Grandfather, in order to prevent me from taking over the Lu Group successfully, Lu Jingye has egged on his subordinates to leak out the confidential information of projects one after another. These two projects combined together are worth at least tens of billions!”
The more Lu Zhiheng spoke, the angrier he got and he was even gasping for air by the time he finished what he had to say.
It was tens of billions for goodness sake! He never even dared to imagine such a huge sum of money in the past.
Patriarch Lu was also angry and he immediately called for Lu Jianlin while he sternly scolded him, “This is the son you’ve educated! Will he only be satisfied if he causes the Lu Group to go bankrupt?!”
Lu Jianlin was already aware of the whole story and at the thought of his wife’s threatening phone call in the morning, he furrowed his brow and said, “Father, Jingye is still lying in the hospital bed and Lingluo went to visit him today. She said that his injuries are very severe and he is in a semi-conscious state. He could not possibly have done this.
Moreover, you are well aware of what kind of person Jingye is. He would never have done something so irrational.”
In fact, Patriarch Lu knew what kind of person Lu Jingye was. However, he was currently angered by this grandson of his and so, he would find fault in anything related to him.
“Hmph!” Patriarch Lu maintained a fierce expression and said, “It better not be him.”
Lu Jianlin loosened his expression and did not say anything else.
Patriarch Lu looked at him and warned him. “Since he chose to leave the Lu Family, he’s no longer the Second Young Master. Our Lu Family will not be giving him any convenience. This is the road he chose and he has to be responsible for his actions.”
Lu Jianlin nodded his head. “I understand, Father.”
…
By the time Zi Yi walked out from the secluded corner, dozens of minutes had passed.
It was currently time for class and she took out two circular balls from her backpack. After throwing them on the ground, the two circular balls expanded and transformed into a skateboard. She stepped on it and skated towards the School of Liberal Arts.
However, she did not manage to travel far before a male student suddenly blocked her way.
Seeing that she was about to crash into him, Zi Yi turned her body and went around him before she stopped.
The person was also shocked. When he realized that the other party was Zi Yi, he instantly blushed.
“Zi… Student Zi.”
“Student, please check if there are any people or cars in the future before you cross the road.”
After she said that, she was about to leave.
However, the male student called out to her and with an odd expression, he asked, “Student Zi, why did you snatch Murong You’s slot?”
Zi Yi looked at him with a puzzled expression. “What slot?”
The male student furrowed his eyebrows. “Some people had already mentioned previously that the campus belle, Murong You, would be attending the Global Economic Forum as an interpreter. The school forum is in chaos right now and there are many people claiming that you snatched her slot.”
Zi Yi took out her phone and entered the school forum. Sure enough, there were many people talking about it and they had also come up with vivid descriptions.
She had been described as a heinous scheming b*tch.
“Zi Yi is too shameless. Just because she saved the students from the School of Science and Technology, does she think she can blatantly steal the spot of the campus belle, Murong You?”
“I think arrogance has gotten into her head. She only won a painting competition and she’s thinking of competing with Murong You?”
“How does someone like her have the right to compete with Murong You over the position of the campus belle? In my opinion, other than that face of hers, she can’t compare with Murong You.”
“Who says Zi Yi can’t compare to her? She has good grades and her appearance is the best in our school. Murong You’s support group is so disgusting to be slandering someone else at this crucial point in time.”
“That’s right.”
…
The school forum was soon divided into two factions. One faction stood on Zi Yi’s side and the other supported Murong You.
Zi Yi casually did a check and managed to find the person who released the news.
Sure enough, it was a member of Murong You’s support group.
This person was obviously a computer science student. He had posted anonymously at an off-campus internet cafe.
Upon checking, Zi Yi revealed a sneer.
The male student standing before her thought that she was angry and he earnestly persuaded her. “Student Zi, you are a very outstanding individual, but since the slot has already been decided on, you can always compete the next time. Your actions this time are wrong.”
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at him as she asked, “Who says that the slot has been decided on? Who makes the decision?”
“The slot… hadn’t it already been decided on long ago?” The male student was stunned by her question.
Zi Yi quickly typed out a short message on her phone with a taut expression.
[Murong You, if you think you are better than others, you should show it openly. What’s the use of using your admirer to play some underhanded games?]
[At noon today, in the third canteen. Do you dare to have a competition with me in front of everyone?]
Zi Yi directly tagged Murong You after she finished typing.. As soon as the two messages were sent out, the school forum exploded.
